Calvin Klein Men’s Underwear History

Calvin Klein originally opened in 1968. Starting out with $10,000, the fashion designer opened a coat shop in New York. Simple, fashionable, and well located, the brand caught on with a fashion conscious younger crowd hungry for european inspired apparel. A Vogue cover appeared a year later, followed by some eye catchingly risquee advertising.

How The Underwear Line Was Born

In 1982, Calvin Klein launched his underwear range. He backed this up with a $500,000 campaign with Olympic pole vaulter Tom hintinaus. Calvin Klein’s philosophy was “The only way to advertise is by not focusing on the product.” And it worked. His underwear range went from zero to 70$ million in its first year!

The 90’s – Boxer Briefs are Invented

By continuing to pursue their trademark seductive yet minimalist approach, the brand continued to grow. In 1992, Marky Mark and a young kate moss posed together topless for one of the defining ad campaigns of the decade. Kate Moss’ slender figure and crooked teeth contrasted starkly with the big boob and glamorous models that were vogue at the time. This bold change as well as the undeniable sex appeal of both models resonated with consumers around the globe. Not just with new york sophisticates, but from lad to hip-hop to mass-market: Calvin Klein became the underwear everyone wanted to be seen wearing.
